Security 2 Step Authentication

Bizprac supports 2-step authentication, offering an additional layer of security beyond just the password. Users can activate this feature for each account, requiring a verification code from the Google Authenticator app on a mobile device to access the system, significantly enhancing account security​​.

Introduction

Two-step authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA), is a security process in which a user provides two different authentication factors to verify their identity.

The idea is that even if one factor is comprised (e.g. a password is stolen), the attacker would still need the second factor to gain access. This extra layer of security significantly enhances the protection of online accounts, logins and sensitive information, as it makes it more difficult for unauthorised individuals to gain access.

Bizprac has the ability to enable 2 factor authentication, security logins must be enabled and then the additional layer added as needed. You will need to enable this process for each user logging into the program. The user will need to have the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device.

Security

Locate the security user's menu under the setup tab.

If security has not been setup previously, you will need to set it up for each user logging into the program.

Enable Authentication

For each user select the level of access that the person will need.

Tick to enable the two-factor authentication. Click okay to save the selected options.

Logging In

To login, add your username and password.

For first time use, scan the QR code. This will open the Google Authenticator app and add Bizprac as an option in the authorised list.

Enter the code generated by Google Authenticator and click proceed. The program will then open as normal.

When logging into the program the second time, simply open Google Authenticator to obtain a new code.
